jQuery has emerged as the most popular Ajax framework, outpacing options such as Dojo and the Prototype JavaScript Framework. With "jQuery Cookbook", you'll learn how to add components from the jQuery library to your websites and web applications, with detailed recipes for tasks ranging from basic integration to complex user interface development. You'll find real-world solutions to common web development hurdles, along with best practices for using jQuery. "jQuery Cookbook" also includes advanced topics not addressed in existing books that cover this library, such as forms, user interfaces, and methods for applying jQuery to large projects. If you already use jQuery, this book will help you take a step back and rethink your existing jQuery code to make sure it does the job you intend it to do, as efficiently as possible. If you want to include Ajax as part of your web development process, jQuery is the obvious choice, and "jQuery Cookbook" is the best way to get the most out of this framework. "The jQuery Cookbook" team brings together more than a dozen contributors, all of them key people in jQuery's ongoing development process, including: Cody Lindley; Ralph Whitbeck; Jonathan Sharp; Michael Geary; Scott Gonzalez; Rebecca Murphey; Remy Sharp; Ariel Flesler; Brian Cherne; Jorn Zaefferer; Mike Hostetler; Nathan Smith; Filament Group; Jonathan Sharp; Mike Hostetler; James Padolsey; and, Richard Worth.
